    The Ref could have worked a possible Duran vs Ray Lampkin "Rematch", if it had occured.
    (Duran, post real fight defense: ""I was not in my best condition. Today I sent him to the hospital. Next time I’ll put him in the morgue.'")

    The ref was reading a text before the fight got going, and when he looked up, Machen was being murdered in the corner.

    Those darn smartphones always distracting...

    But seriously what a horrific beating. Imagine being Eddie's dad or mom or wife watching that...

    Holy **** what a brutal KO, great job by Ingo

    Honestly I much prefer this to early stoppages. That being said, ref should've stopped it when he was crouched with his guard down, or at least started a count

    Ali had several of his "overmatched" opponents in obvious trouble in fights, and usually backed off.
